The HO engine has a different firing order than the regular 5.0. This meand you have to have a computer to match it.

When the ignition firing order is different, so will the injector opening order be different.

The 351W does have the same firing order as the 5.0HO, I am not sure if the computer will work though. I see no reason for it not to.

The van should have the bank fire sequence on the injectors, so that shouldn't matter. Just make sure you have your spark plug wires matching the firing order of the HO motor.
